Trump bump?: Real estate sales in Pitkin County won't touch last year's $2 billion in total transactions, but November has shown signs of the high-end market picking up steam. In addition to the $18.5 million sale Nov. 14, a home at 720 Willoughby Way — a 8,737-square-foot residence on nearly an acre of land — sold for $24 million Nov. 10. Those two sales account for the two priciest property deals of 2016 in Pitkin County. The Sardy House, which sold for $23.1 million in April, is sandwiched between the two.

Since Nov. 9, the day after Republican Donald Trump was elected president, five other property sales were recorded ranging from $5.45 million to $8.02 million.

So far this year, 15 property deals have eclipsed the $10 million mark in Pitkin County.
